24-hour Macy’s
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Stores may have been pushing an early holiday season this year, but it hasn’t made us start shopping any earlier.
In an effort to encourage last minute shoppers, Macy’s East announced that seven stores in the New York metro area will stay open for 24-hours from Fri. Dec. 21 at 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve.
Would you go shopping at midnight on Christmas Eve?
What stores would you want to have 24-hour operations?

Naughty or nice?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Last week Wise Diva mentioned dating during the holiday trifecta — Christmas, New Year’s and Valentine’s Day — and how some people may avoid it completely.
But what if the holidays sneak up on you and you’re already with someone who you might be…well, losing interest in. Where does that put you in the gift-buying realm?
Do you buy a present for the person you’re dating, only to break up with them after the holiday (and don’t lie—you know this happens)? Does it lessen the blow to buy the person something inexpensive and then break the bad news later? Is there a statute of limitations on how close to a holiday you should break up with someone? What if it’s the day before? The day of?
Or do you drop the bomb before the holiday to avoid having to buy a gift? Is it always better to end things as quickly as possible when dating during the holidays? Have you ever had someone give you a Christmas present when you were preparing to break up with them? What did you do?
Do you consider yourself naughty or nice when it comes to handling gifting and holiday breakups? Would your exes agree?

The best version of ‘B-b-b-b-blue Christmas’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
At my house, I’ve heard recordings of Elvis singing “BLUE CHRISTMAS” maybe a million times. So on occasion, I like to toss in this version from another, equally immortal artist.
En-en-en-en-en-en-enjoy!

How much partying does 2008 rate?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With just about two weeks before Christmas, you might be thinking what I’m thinking:
What are we doing on New Year’s Eve?
We received an invite to a fab fete for New Year’s and were overjoyed to accept. Then came the invite for the pre-party dinner party. Sounds good! Then came the invite for the pre-pre-party.
Mercy!
How much partying are you planning to ring in the New Year? Does it get to be too much? Anyone staying in?
Tell me your plans for parties large, small and in between. Or maybe your most memorable New Year’s Eve.
Oh, and if anyone’s planning a party that starts about 1 p.m. New Year’s Eve, S.B.’s available. Otherwise, I’m booked - see you next year!
